Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night by Iona Datt Sharma, Katherine Fabian
4.0
Halfway through this novella I realized it's the first book I've read about a poly relationship! new 2022 resolution unlocked, read more poly stuff
This story is set in London, in a world where magic exists and its practitioners are common enough but still seen as whimsical to the majority.
Layla is a wife and mom of 2, who works a somewhat regular job at a mortuary and tries to fit in with the rest of her pta community, keeping her poly life separate from her "home" life. Nat is the opposite, he's visibly queer, living in an apartment off royalties of an old holiday song, does simple spells, and has no permanent plan forward. The only thing in common between the two of them is their powerfully magical partner, Meraud, who has gone missing.
Following Meraud's metamours as they try to save their partner while also struggling through their feelings towards one another is fun and interesting. While they are bitter at times, they are mature about it (they are adults after all) and watching them figure each other out brings me holiday joy.
ps now I really want their mug that says Hulk Smash Patriarchy
